Thanks Mark, I enjoy your tips. I'm a back yard manual machinist that has the CNC CERTIFICATE. But have never worked in the CNC trade. Mainly because my regular gig pays well and too close to retirement to start at the bottom of the food chain. I have manual machines but I can see a cnc mill in my retirement plan. The desktop Hass CNC machine realy peaked my interest. Trying to figure out how to break the news to my wife I want to buy another $8000. Toy for my shop without causing permanent damage to our 43 year marriage. You would think she would be used to my propensity for expensive toys by now. You are a great teacher.
I wish you would have taught all of my classes in high school. What an excellent teacher! My husband is an operator and they have been promising to teach him to program for 3 years. Over the years he has figured out some basics and can modify, etc. I just forwarded him this tutorial, he is going to love your stuff!
Decades ago I setup/ran and programmed a VF-2 . I had years of manual experience and a few years with a conversational cnc mill. When I was asked to run the Hass I was the only one there that had cnc milling experience but no g code experience. The Hass programming book was just a wealth of information that within a month I could program anything that the machine could possibly do. It also had a rotary 4th axis that I used on occasion. On line support had very useful information I could use also. Everything was easy to understand. I even did some hard milling on it and saved a tremendous amount of time vs surface grinding. We didn't have Cam at the time so all hand typed in but it wasn't difficult.
Mark great video. I kinda did it backwards. I'm an engineer by trade. Didn't know a thing about CNC. Learned a bit on a chinese CNC i bought to learn the basics (using MACH 3 then) until I just went for it, quit my $140,000+ job and opened up my shop running a VF-5SS. Crazy scary. I relied heavily on my CAM system and it certainly got me through since I didn't know G code. But as the code is posted, I've been taking the time to understand more of what is being spit out, especially the G and M codes. Videos like these definitely help with that so thank you. Don't be mad because I learned G code backwards though :( lol I'm sure a basic program can be written by hand pretty quickly, the conversational programming is pretty good as well. But more complex toolpaths, especially 3D surfacing would be a nightmare to do by hand. Because of my background, I know CAD/CAM extremely well, with my G code knowledge growing slowly. But I think they are mutually exclusive. It does make you a better programmer if you know both though. Keep up the good content.
Cisco Hernandez I programmed for only a couple of weeks by hand before jumping into a CAM system, and never looked back. If you had just 100 hours to learn to run a CNC, I’d spend maybe 5 hours on these basic G-codes, 10 hours on setups (making things straight, setting offsets, using an indicator/probe), 10 hours on tools (drills/end mills/taps..) and their speeds and feeds then the remaining 75 hours getting to know my CAM system. I just made this schedule up, but you get the idea. The way you described learning things through your CAM system is a solid approach. We only have so much time - Mark
@@markterryberry4477 Completely agree. When I was in the engineering world, we were design aerospace systems for Space X, Boeing, Lockeed, Northrop, etc. I got to test some of the equipment in the field, but man, my attention was always on the floor.

Love it, no one have ever explain the basic of gcode like this way before. its great. I am going to watch all other videos of you Sir. Keep sharing knowledge for learners like me. Thanks again.
I will have to say thanks for the tips. I am working in a prototype shop with one other machinist who finished school a year before me (I only finished the program last year with the CNC certificate on top of my machining diploma) and having nobody with years of experience to help with the transition from student to machinist has been somewhat interesting. We run Haas VF3, TM2 (usually me running that one) and a TL2 (have been spending a lot of time on it over the past few months and have earned the title "lathe guy" from some of the engineers), so learning simple tips like what you show are always helpful. They are even more useful as I plan on returning to my school as a part time teacher (only requires 2 years minimum experience), so several things from these videos will be going into any CNC classes I end up getting involved with or just generally helping out students that are in those classes. Can't wait to learn more to improve upon my knowledge for better ways to have parts coming out of the shop.
I have programed ISO for about 5 years and then i met Haidenhein ,from that "Day" i never go back to ISO again...... But i enjoy the channel here.....you got some good tips here and there... :-)
Thank you Mark to share all of your knowledge with us. I never missed one. This had been helping me a lot all of these years. God bless and continue educating us.
in 1980 where i was working the older machinist got to learn to run the new K & T cnc mills. to say we had a steep learning curve is a big understatement. these new machine couldnt interalate going around a corner. we had to input point to point by hand.
I am currently learning the old Haas SL30 at my job. I am freshly graduated from 4-year machinist apprentice school and am soaking up as much CNC knowledge as possible. This video series is awesome. Definitely need this. Subscribed!
@hassaanawan9606 I've never been to a class for cnc 6 years experience running varying machines from crap lathes and mills to extremely nice lathes and mills. I make 32 a hour. Average about 80k with ot. Think I got like 84 last year this year we got less ot so a little less. Hoping to get a little higher wage soon and break that 100k mark. Alot of machinists / operators make less than me though. I even make more than half of the journeymen make in our shop. Seattle area just to give you a reference point. If you want real money get into hvac lol
I just got a job in the field, got put on a Haas making simple parts, I want to know how as much as I can. I'm in school as well so I feel like a deer in headlights somewhat. Great video, thanks.
This is exactly what I was looking for to help me know what path to take for learning CNC. It feels like there is so much to learn and this is a nice starting point. The ending also helped me know what to do next, thank you!
Super handy to know if you're running a simple one-off part and don't have time to CAD/CAM it or if you need to debug a program. Also, the tool change commands are helpful on older machines when setting up or changing out tooling. G-code IS still relevant and useful to know!
Most if not all CNC's still run on G-code so it's absolutely helpful to know it when problem solving and making small changes so you don't have to create an entirely new program on CAD.
I hit the like button and I also like you I find you are an excellent instructor I enjoy your videos very much I am learning a ton of stuff thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
When I learned CNC programming back in 1991-1993, we started with this. We programmed the CNC and had a pencil in the tool holder. If we have programmed the program correctly, we had our picture.
Very useful program and I have to say, straight to the point. Love your content and it really is that simple. I am a huge fan followers. Thanks for the knowledge and for showing all that you need to know about CNC. Please like and subscribe. You will NOT be disappointed.
I found this video to be very informative, i'm just starting to learn G-code and i'm looking for any short cuts that i can get. I'm a visual learner so videos are great for me.
So I’m taking an assessment for Cnc bender after my 3rd day tooling parts. I’m nervous because I really want to do this but afraid of being turned down. I know nothing about the machine. But. I was pretty good in algebra so hopefully it’ll come back to me. I am going to study these codes so it will help me a little. Wish me luck guys
@@imaamericangirl1406 I can’t believe how much has changed since then lol. I was told I was going to take the assessment and they never came and got me off the floor so I left and now I have 3 certifications with the department of agriculture and rural development and currently get rid of your skeeters
Great videos! We recently had a new VF2 installed and it's amazing just how closely it matches out now ancient VF2 from the late 90s in terms of control. Made it easy for me to transition over, taking in to consideration a few new buttons and a fancier display. Would love a CAM system. We free hand all our programming here, but are looking to invest in that at some point. I dont know how any of that works but I would love to learn, sounds like the way forward and a huge time saver I bet
#VeryCool! #ThankYou! for keeping it positive. This video shows what is possible if we all try to get the best grades in school. Please in the next video give a shout out for all those who are coming up. By shooting out "YA HOOOOO!"
Everything Mark says really helps. People have no idea how valuable these videos are. People work their whole careers and can't handle half this stuff.
Jonathan Graham I’m gonna get personal so please try to bear with me: I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life- Machine Tool Technology just sounded "cool" so I chose that as my concentration for my community college (I completed my gen ed courses before I started the MTT program). About this time last year, I started my first project in manual and something just clicked. Now that I’m done with the manual shop classes, I’m currently in my first semester of CNC- milling is taught in spring & turning is in the fall. CAM is in summer but I can’t take that till I’ve passed either CNC milling or turning. Anyways, to sum up what my above comment was about: I definitely know my Cartesian coordinates and am pretty confident in my blueprint reading skills. What I need to work on is what to put on each line of code. Also, I have add/adhd which probably contributes to the fact I’m mostly a hands-on/visual learner (so yeah these vids help) but I won’t let my so called "disability" stop me from becoming the best CNC machinist I can be. I wouldn’t have chosen this as my career choice if I didn’t think I could do it. Alright I’ve said enough. And to any CNC machinists who might’ve been in the same boat as me at one time, I’m looking forward to joining you on the summit
@@stuartpeck26 Good on you for recognizing what you're interested in and striving to understand it on your own time as well. You may or may not end up on a Haas machine when the CNC classes come around but no doubt you'll learn lots to start you in the right direction. I came at machining from the opposite side haha. I was the cleanup guy for a job shop and learned all I could watching the other guys. They started letting me do small jobs that had been started already on the CNCs, then let me start setting them up, then start proofing... Until now, I setup and run parts regularly and I'm decently proficient at hand editing G-Code. I wish we had more manual jobs for me to learn on as well, I find myself behind a mill or a lathe about 1/4 as often as their CNC counterpart. But I'm happy to be learning and have a job that makes me exercise both the creative and logical sides of my brain.
@speedytech7 These are the machines in my community college’s CNC training building: 3 MAZAKs- 2 mills (one with 5axis but u have to be at a certain skill level to use that one) and a lathe; 1 Samsung lathe with Fanuc controller; and the rest are haas mills & lathes. I believe our VF3SSY is actually being leant to us. HAAS had a demo day this past summer back while I was in my intro to machine shop 2 class in which they were primarily using it And thanks
While it is important to understand G-code for debugging or fine tuning most modern shops use CAD/CAM and conversational programming. Which with a decent post processor they will handle the structure for you. It's other stuff they can be less then awesome at. Here's a trick as you reading code on the screen use your finger to simulate the cutter and your desk as the mill bed.
Great topic. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/URO3ETG18bs/w-d-xo.html. Our G17/G18/G19 Plane selection tells the control which way our canned cycles should go, and which way G02/G03 arcs are made. Great topic. We should make that video. This is really important for Live-Tool lathes as well. Thanks for the comment.
Max R the floor supervisor I worked for, at my first shop, carried around a weathered yellow post it note in his pocket, “G54 G00 G90 G17”. He’d enter it into a program, just after a tool change, if he needed to start a program in the middle. When I asked what it meant, he said he had no idea, just something you have to enter. We hope these videos are just what you described - the videos we wish we had available when we first started. Thanks for the comment. - Mark.
I really want to learn more , ive worked for a company for almost 5 years. They didn't teach anything , threw be on the machines with just basic load and unload and check some measurements. The little I know I taught myself or a couple haas guys actually taught me a little. I've watched my boss do somethings but he didn't slow down to teach. I happen to have fallen in love with CNC machining but im 48 and a mom. I looked into the college course at our local school its a 2 year course, all day classes. I can't do that and work and take care of my kids. Im looking for a night class that teaches the basics. Set-up and G-code. The local college has been saying they are trying to get one together but haven't yet. I took the haas certification class online but haven't done the final in person test from a haas instructor. I don't even know what I'm asking here but does anyone have any advice how to learn set-up and G-code without having to go to full time college?
I went to school for CNC machining, but they don't have all the different controls there, so basicly I learned the basics of machining there and Heidenhain programming, all the other controls like Fanuc, Okuma, SMT(very old), Siemens I learned just by reading the manuals and using the machines. You can download Haas manuals. -It's a shame they didn't teach you. It's the same in our company, the bosses don't allocate enough time to teach anyone and then they are in deep shit if I get sick. I guess the best option would be to convince your employer that it would be beneficial to teach you. Or find another job where they are willing to teach.
It sets the active plane as XY. Some machine controls use XY by default but it’s good programming to always set your active plane. You might machine 99% of the time in XY on a 3 axis but for example if you’re using a ball mill or a 5-axis machine you’ll likely need to switch to another active plane.
I have been thinking about projects for the Desktop mill that we are getting for our school system. the Homer Simpson hand code was excellent. I think we can do things like that and then add some CadCam stuff like BatMan logo or stuff like that. I have been using the Haas workbooks but I like your hand outs - are they downloadable? ( ps I just found them) I call it the "goes in to" then "do something" and then "get out of" when I describe it. Ed Doherty
Hi.... Dear sir, It's very useful video, Thank you very much. Sir, i would like to know where are you from? I am from India and working as CNC mechine oparator. I like your video very much... Thank you once again.
Check out ncviewer.com/ it's pretty cool, put together by Xander Luciano. We have full simulators for schools, and one of our dealers has a great app which you can find here apps.apple.com/us/app/the-phillips-machinist/id1046408069 . Haas has the HaasConnect App which allows you to monitor your machines, and the HaasDrop app that allows you to drop programs directly to the machines from your phone, which is cool. For more information on some of these tools you can check out haascnc.com/myhaas . For the Haas Simulators check out www.haascnc.com/machines/vertical-mills/control-simulator.html
These are indeed the 9 most used lines, though every "Dialect" of G-Code has its own quirks.. Basically, every experienced programmer, when programming at the machine will start with the same lines of code every time, and he will also use the same lines of code at the end of a program. You could have included G20 /G21 for Inch or Metric programming as well Though i don't really like HAAS Controls, i do like these videos.. Keep up the good work!
Hi Mark I watch lot of the videos from you, i have a question, i’m new in the CNC and i just started learn, i have a Fadal machine i can use the inf. That you bring in the videos on my fadal or only work in your machine? Thank you Wagner Damotta
Much of the basic G-code is the same, while Haas machines have quite a few unique codes and features, designed for our users based on their needs and suggestions.
Well nobody is going to write a whole CNC program to make anything significant, it still helps to know what the basic G-Codes and M-Codes do. When you are testing out a new part, its often easier to change a speed or feed or such at the machine than to go back and rerun the CAM. Also if you are validating a CAM tool / post processor for a new machine, you really need to understand what the G-Code does.
Our shop has two guys that wrote G-Code by hand well before cam software was something the smaller shop could have. We still use some entirely hand written code for parts we make regularly. You can be extremely complex by hand, but it's a dying art and easy peasy visual cam software is making modern programmers just lazy Facebook jockies that use a computer better than their other coworkers.
Brucec 95 i was surprised to find so many hand programmers when I moved to Michigan years back, but they were machining on castings, doable. For Billet work, machining from solid stock, you really need a CAM system, although, on the lathe side I’ve met a ton of fantastic lathe hand programmers that were really efficient. Today, with live-tooling lathes, we’ve blurred the line between mills and lathes and more machinists than ever are jumping straight into a CAM system. I guess it all depends on the parts you are running. - Mark
Thank you for being part of our success! Seriously, thank you for the amazing videos and ... machines )) there's a great document linked in the bonus content - the mill programming workbook.

Super handy to know if you're running a simple one-off part and don't have time to CAD/CAM it or if you need to debug a program. Also, the tool change commands are helpful on older machines when setting up or changing out tooling. G-code IS still relevant and useful to know!
Is relevant and always will be. G code is simplest way to program your cnc .
I fat finger half my code lol faster than drawing and transmitting the code.
Hass machines are famous for being not only user friendly but the conversational side is easily understood by New folks as well as others.
Most if not all CNC's still run on G-code so it's absolutely helpful to know it when problem solving and making small changes so you don't have to create an entirely new program on CAD.
@@matthewchapman2494What’s not user friendly on a Haas? I would argue they’re one of if not the most user friendly machine on the market.
Thank you very much for your dear haas company for Turkish subtitles. Your videos are super congratulations.
Excellent video. Clear and straightforward. Thank you.
Dang! Thank you, I can only hit the like button only 1 time, epiphany, wow!
Thank you for this video! Now I can read the program in our system. This will be my fundamental for the meantime..
Again, thank you Haas!
Mr. Mark thanks for sharing valuable information with your user ....
And with upcoming Users......
I hit the like button and I also like you I find you are an excellent instructor I enjoy your videos very much I am learning a ton of stuff thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
At 3:13 pronounced CNC as CMC and became cheery red. It happens with everyone. Great video.
Thank you Mark for sharing your knowledge. You are a great Master CNC. God bless you.
Thank you ,This had been helping me a lot all of these years. God bless and very nice
So many rules.
So much easier when you incorporate all the defaults and tool length call into the tool change macro.
This video made me understand gcode. Thank you from Japan.
I'm just getting into this, and this is a HUGE help!
4:25 I remember making my first homer. It was a good time.
Hi Mark , your videos are ever exhaustive I see the bonus video !
It was mind blowing in school when we had 2 or 3 axis coordinates. But i was never prepared to drive 13 axis lathe :D
Can you please tell me the name of that machine?

I wish all teachers could prepare classes like this one.
Excellent tutorial, extremely important to empower knowledge in this widening field ...thank you Mark for your contributions...😊
Haas tip of the day is always helpfull. Gives me a lot of new things that I didn't know. Thank you so much Haas
Great presenter and awesome series, a lot of work and care was put into it and it shows. Thank you
Haas really does a great job on these videos.
Mark is fantastic, right?!
When I learned CNC programming back in 1991-1993, we started with this. We programmed the CNC and had a pencil in the tool holder. If we have programmed the program correctly, we had our picture.
Love your humours explanation
I dont have hass mill, I have my own built Linux CNC but still I love to watch your videos 💚
Go on, go on, go on, go on, forever I loved your charisma
You made that so easy to understand that even me a 35 year old janitor could understand it thank you!
I love it and I love you! Not a programmer but understand!
Very useful program and I have to say, straight to the point. Love your content and it really is that simple. I am a huge fan followers. Thanks for the knowledge and for showing all that you need to know about CNC. Please like and subscribe. You will NOT be disappointed.
I found this video to be very informative, i'm just starting to learn G-code and i'm looking for any short cuts that i can get. I'm a visual learner so videos are great for me.
brilliant (and you guys are having far too much fun). bet yer people are going to run production on those minimills...
Excellent way of transferring knowledge. Thanks a lot.

So I’m taking an assessment for Cnc bender after my 3rd day tooling parts. I’m nervous because I really want to do this but afraid of being turned down. I know nothing about the machine. But. I was pretty good in algebra so hopefully it’ll come back to me. I am going to study these codes so it will help me a little. Wish me luck guys
How did it go?
@@imaamericangirl1406 I can’t believe how much has changed since then lol. I was told I was going to take the assessment and they never came and got me off the floor so I left and now I have 3 certifications with the department of agriculture and rural development and currently get rid of your skeeters
The Machinist's Code is more of a guideline than actual rules...
Borkocyte 2 this needs to get printed on a T-shirt. I see a pirate themed meme in our future.
@CNC LATHE FANUC I have one doubt can u please help me
@Grant Morgan why are these everywhere? Do people really fall for them?
Search CNC fail and see what happens...
Barbossa?
Great videos! We recently had a new VF2 installed and it's amazing just how closely it matches out now ancient VF2 from the late 90s in terms of control. Made it easy for me to transition over, taking in to consideration a few new buttons and a fancier display.
Would love a CAM system. We free hand all our programming here, but are looking to invest in that at some point. I dont know how any of that works but I would love to learn, sounds like the way forward and a huge time saver I bet
HI MATT, i am getting in my TM-0P october 3/22 i have cad nailed but no experience on the cam side of things. what did you end up doing?
#VeryCool! #ThankYou! for keeping it positive.
This video shows what is possible if we all try to get the best grades in school.
Please in the next video give a shout out for all those who are coming up. By shooting out "YA HOOOOO!"
I am very appreciative of this content!
Thanks a lot
I will add similar videos on my pages to help improve Maintenace and operations
Boil down the manuals and you get Haas soup of the day!
I learned my first code on a turret punch press . Super easy code. So easy I would write code right on the machine to make personal stuff lol.
I’m actually struggling with program structure so this REALLY helps.
Everything Mark says really helps. People have no idea how valuable these videos are. People work their whole careers and can't handle half this stuff.

I’m gonna get personal so please try to bear with me: I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life- Machine Tool Technology just sounded "cool" so I chose that as my concentration for my community college (I completed my gen ed courses before I started the MTT program). About this time last year, I started my first project in manual and something just clicked. Now that I’m done with the manual shop classes, I’m currently in my first semester of CNC- milling is taught in spring & turning is in the fall. CAM is in summer but I can’t take that till I’ve passed either CNC milling or turning. Anyways, to sum up what my above comment was about: I definitely know my Cartesian coordinates and am pretty confident in my blueprint reading skills. What I need to work on is what to put on each line of code. Also, I have add/adhd which probably contributes to the fact I’m mostly a hands-on/visual learner (so yeah these vids help) but I won’t let my so called "disability" stop me from becoming the best CNC machinist I can be. I wouldn’t have chosen this as my career choice if I didn’t think I could do it.
Alright I’ve said enough. And to any CNC machinists who might’ve been in the same boat as me at one time, I’m looking forward to joining you on the summit
@@stuartpeck26 Good on you for recognizing what you're interested in and striving to understand it on your own time as well. You may or may not end up on a Haas machine when the CNC classes come around but no doubt you'll learn lots to start you in the right direction. I came at machining from the opposite side haha. I was the cleanup guy for a job shop and learned all I could watching the other guys. They started letting me do small jobs that had been started already on the CNCs, then let me start setting them up, then start proofing... Until now, I setup and run parts regularly and I'm decently proficient at hand editing G-Code. I wish we had more manual jobs for me to learn on as well, I find myself behind a mill or a lathe about 1/4 as often as their CNC counterpart. But I'm happy to be learning and have a job that makes me exercise both the creative and logical sides of my brain.
@speedytech7 These are the machines in my community college’s CNC training building: 3 MAZAKs- 2 mills (one with 5axis but u have to be at a certain skill level to use that one) and a lathe; 1 Samsung lathe with Fanuc controller; and the rest are haas mills & lathes. I believe our VF3SSY is actually being leant to us. HAAS had a demo day this past summer back while I was in my intro to machine shop 2 class in which they were primarily using it
And thanks
While it is important to understand G-code for debugging or fine tuning most modern shops use CAD/CAM and conversational programming. Which with a decent post processor they will handle the structure for you. It's other stuff they can be less then awesome at. Here's a trick as you reading code on the screen use your finger to simulate the cutter and your desk as the mill bed.
Thank you Mark sir to share all of your knowledge with us.
Thanks Terry, this really helps. Keep em comin!!!!
You are a great teacher. Thank you...
Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos con la comunidad, gracias..
Very interesting and correct basic info, thx for sharing!
This is a great exercise
Thanks for breaking the CNC machining process into bite size pieces.
Thanks so much for the heads up, I so much have a passion to learn the cnc programming.
I will also love to get the codes if possible.
Thanks sir ,fr the basic attachment which shared with us ,its so useful, 🙏
Why is Haas tip of the day the best thing for an engineer?.......
This shit is like crack I have binged watched the whole series.
hello sir thanks for tip. it very helpful for me. may i ask how can i get this paper your use in this video.
In what G code # ,the machine will know what plane we're using , either xy,zy or xz?
Great topic. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/URO3ETG18bs/w-d-xo.html. Our G17/G18/G19 Plane selection tells the control which way our canned cycles should go, and which way G02/G03 arcs are made. Great topic. We should make that video. This is really important for Live-Tool lathes as well. Thanks for the comment.
Big fan of your lessons.🤩
Make a video on types of ways to take work off sets. Different types, better ways take off sets.😊
Maintenance Tech here, wish I had this when I started out.
Max R the floor supervisor I worked for, at my first shop, carried around a weathered yellow post it note in his pocket, “G54 G00 G90 G17”. He’d enter it into a program, just after a tool change, if he needed to start a program in the middle. When I asked what it meant, he said he had no idea, just something you have to enter. We hope these videos are just what you described - the videos we wish we had available when we first started. Thanks for the comment. - Mark.
@@markterryberry4477 👍🏼
I really want to learn more , ive worked for a company for almost 5 years. They didn't teach anything , threw be on the machines with just basic load and unload and check some measurements. The little I know I taught myself or a couple haas guys actually taught me a little. I've watched my boss do somethings but he didn't slow down to teach. I happen to have fallen in love with CNC machining but im 48 and a mom. I looked into the college course at our local school its a 2 year course, all day classes. I can't do that and work and take care of my kids. Im looking for a night class that teaches the basics. Set-up and G-code. The local college has been saying they are trying to get one together but haven't yet. I took the haas certification class online but haven't done the final in person test from a haas instructor. I don't even know what I'm asking here but does anyone have any advice how to learn set-up and G-code without having to go to full time college?
I went to school for CNC machining, but they don't have all the different controls there, so basicly I learned the basics of machining there and Heidenhain programming, all the other controls like Fanuc, Okuma, SMT(very old), Siemens I learned just by reading the manuals and using the machines. You can download Haas manuals. -It's a shame they didn't teach you. It's the same in our company, the bosses don't allocate enough time to teach anyone and then they are in deep shit if I get sick. I guess the best option would be to convince your employer that it would be beneficial to teach you. Or find another job where they are willing to teach.
Good day. Do you have a tutorial for a helical entry for tool? Like making a pocket?
What is the point of the G17?
It sets the active plane as XY. Some machine controls use XY by default but it’s good programming to always set your active plane. You might machine 99% of the time in XY on a 3 axis but for example if you’re using a ball mill or a 5-axis machine you’ll likely need to switch to another active plane.
What is the best way to memorize g and m modes? As well as their variables?
FINALLY!
Not a list of 5 or 10!
Watching this video one word comes to mind.....DOH!
I have been thinking about projects for the Desktop mill that we are getting for our school system. the Homer Simpson hand code was excellent. I think we can do things like that and then add some CadCam stuff like BatMan logo or stuff like that.
I have been using the Haas workbooks but I like your hand outs - are they downloadable? ( ps I just found them)
I call it the "goes in to" then "do something" and then "get out of" when I describe it.

Hi.... Dear sir, It's very useful video, Thank you very much.
Sir, i would like to know where are you from? I am from India and working as CNC mechine oparator.
I like your video very much... Thank you once again.
Hope you guys can make an app so we can practice programming
Check out ncviewer.com/ it's pretty cool, put together by Xander Luciano. We have full simulators for schools, and one of our dealers has a great app which you can find here apps.apple.com/us/app/the-phillips-machinist/id1046408069 . Haas has the HaasConnect App which allows you to monitor your machines, and the HaasDrop app that allows you to drop programs directly to the machines from your phone, which is cool. For more information on some of these tools you can check out haascnc.com/myhaas . For the Haas Simulators check out www.haascnc.com/machines/vertical-mills/control-simulator.html
I ask you to make an educational video about the maintenance of the spindle during the rotation, there is a sound during the removal of the head
Thank you very much
What is difference between conventional and climb cut and when we use???
These are indeed the 9 most used lines, though every "Dialect" of G-Code has its own quirks..
Basically, every experienced programmer, when programming at the machine will start with the same lines of code every time, and he will also use the same lines of code at the end of a program.
You could have included G20 /G21 for Inch or Metric programming as well
Though i don't really like HAAS Controls, i do like these videos.. Keep up the good work!
How would you improve them, Jan? Maybe they will take note?
@@imaamericangirl1406 How to improve a Haas Control?.. Redesign the keyboard, start using Softkeys, get rid of the beeps.. for starters..
I am starting an apprenticeship today as a machist 1
Hi Mark
I watch lot of the videos from you, i have a question, i’m new in the CNC and i just started learn, i have a Fadal machine i can use the inf. That you bring in the videos on my fadal or only work in your machine?
Thank you
Wagner Damotta
Much of the basic G-code is the same, while Haas machines have quite a few unique codes and features, designed for our users based on their needs and suggestions.
Well nobody is going to write a whole CNC program to make anything significant, it still helps to know what the basic G-Codes and M-Codes do. When you are testing out a new part, its often easier to change a speed or feed or such at the machine than to go back and rerun the CAM. Also if you are validating a CAM tool / post processor for a new machine, you really need to understand what the G-Code does.
Are you kidding? I would guess about 25% of shops use hand written code only, and 90% of shops use at least one hand written program a month.
Our shop has two guys that wrote G-Code by hand well before cam software was something the smaller shop could have. We still use some entirely hand written code for parts we make regularly. You can be extremely complex by hand, but it's a dying art and easy peasy visual cam software is making modern programmers just lazy Facebook jockies that use a computer better than their other coworkers.
My buddy Jack does.. he uses an old form of Bobcad for the numbers and writes everything by hand. But he's been doing it for almost 30 years.
@@spikeypineapple552 job shopping simple parts for sure. But some just send that to the manual mill to save cnc hours.
Brucec 95 i was surprised to find so many hand programmers when I moved to Michigan years back, but they were machining on castings, doable. For Billet work, machining from solid stock, you really need a CAM system, although, on the lathe side I’ve met a ton of fantastic lathe hand programmers that were really efficient. Today, with live-tooling lathes, we’ve blurred the line between mills and lathes and more machinists than ever are jumping straight into a CAM system. I guess it all depends on the parts you are running. - Mark
Hello, I would like to know how you can put the corrector to wear when the milling cutter processes the theoretical contour in three coordinates.
Tot ceea ce datorez este exclusiv familiei mele.
Restul fac pentru că așa simt.
THANK YOU HAAS VERY VERY MUCH REALY U GUYS ARE THE BEST.
Thank you for being part of our success! Seriously, thank you for the amazing videos and ... machines )) there's a great document linked in the bonus content - the mill programming workbook. However it says VF/EC series. Would it wok on our pre-ngc TM-1? Or would you have a similar document for this machine?
That programming workbook is great for programming the TM Toolroom Mill as well. The TM can use the same code as a VF. Thanks for the comment!
